You'd have a overhead series of sprayers that should look like a nice sculpture in itself, that would rain down evenly on a well drained flat concrete base, the whole thing maybe 40 x 40 ft square. When you approached this little slice o' rainstorm, optical sensors embedded in concrete would sense you're
there and close the array of sprayers in front of you opening up an area of no rain. As you walked in, the sensors arrayed throughout the fountain would continue turning off sprayers above your area so no matter were you walked, that area wouldn't have any rain coming down as if someone were holding an invisible umbrella over you. As you left any particular spot, the rain would come back on. It would be like strolling around under a waterfall without getting wet. Seems to me it would be a neat experience.

This would be impressive. Makes me want to go take my umbrella and go down to the car wash. |

I like this idea. It would also be neat if it had different modes, where you could set it for either dry, mist, spray, or shower. |
